Once Upon A Sketch Challenge!

Hi everyone! It's live! Yup, the challenge is live and it's all about you! For our Nov. 1st challenge we would like you to use this sketch, by Nadia, the lovely creator and owner of OUAS and journal at least 2 sentences on when you started scrapbooking and why. For me, this was very exciting...a friend had shown be a small book that the teacher had done about her son, during his year of kindergarden. I was so inspired that I went right out and bought scrapping stuff to do some lo's with my children. Shortly after that one of my daughters got a scholarship to go to a ski academy, so I decided to scrap her years there. My picture is of a scrapbook that I put together for her by using one of her old ski racing outfits. This is such an important memory for us. Now, I am simply obsessed with scrapping...I just can't seem to get enough of it...it allows me to not only take pictures, but also put them together in the form of art...a true passion of mine.

Hello, welcome to my creative world. I'm Sandi, the gal behind "Scrapping as I go". I spend a lot of time taking pictures and looking for all kinds of neat looking goodies that I can use on my projects or alter. Creating art, of any kind, brings me great comfort and happiness. I created this blog so that I could share my scrapping/art creations with you. I hope you enjoy your visit. Come back often, and please feel free to leave a comment so that I can get to know you better as well.

About Me

I really love art of any kind, but scrapping allows me to create a picture of my life... I am able to express what my eyes see, play with texture, and to show how the people and things that I love are all woven together.
